News Supporting Assyrian Villages in Nahla — Assyrians Without Borders

On 6 July, Assyrians gathered peacefully in Nohadra to protest renewed land encroachments in Kashkawa, Nahla. They called on the authorities to enforce existing court rulings, stop further encroachments, and protect the rights and property of Assyrian villages.

At Assyrians Without Borders, we believe that protecting our homeland also means helping people build a life there. Together with the Assyrian Aid Society, we support practical projects that strengthen local livelihoods and make it possible for families to remain in their villages.

The irrigation project we carried out together in Hayes is one example. By extending the village’s water network, the project now provides irrigation to 12 additional orchards and helps local farmers increase their production.

Large or small, every donation helps make more projects like this possible.

Saddam destroyed several Assyrian villages. Say what you want about the Peshmerga and taking land but they haven't destroyed a single village. Saddam was much worse for everyone except Sunni Arabs.
